As the reader can understand, this is outrageous, it is certainly far beyond deliberate plagiarism, it is simply fraud; the degree of intent is high as all text, figures and tables are copied from the original PDF, the ONLY difference is the authors’ names and affiliation.

We, the co-authors of the paper, tried to contact the authors as well as the journal editor to request that:

the offending paper is removed from the journal

the journal editor should publish an official apology, as the journal also carries responsibility for this incident

the authors of this paper should be punished by their corresponding academic institutions as an example of deliberate plagiarism and copyright infringement.

Nevertheless, until today (July 17th, 2010) no official response nor explanation has been given by either the authors or Medwell Online. Nevertheless, the offending paper was removed and the site no longer references the paper of Selvam et al.

That didn't stop Selvam et al. to resubmit the paper to another journal:

As this is an open letter to all journals editors and authors, it should be noted that no plagiarism can be effectively hidden nowadays; the arrogant behaviour of Mr. Selvan will eventually be punished.
